Aire de Jeux at Jardin des Tuileries Paris Playground

Highlight of the Aire de Jeux playground in Paris is the GIANT fort.

Featuring a steep ladder access, it limits access to the younger kids, so the bigger kids and teens love it.


Hot Tip: Book a specially designed 2- hour family tour of the Louvre with kids.

The climbing cages play area looks like something from Ninja Warrior, a relic of army training camps. 

Inside and up high, it’s a top spot to hang out with new friends!

Parkour equipment

My boys made use of it as part of their game of Parkour.

Then they played ‘the floor is lava’ challenge.

That’s the game where they can’t touch the ground as they bound around the place, from equipment to equipment.

Even Roam the Gnome wanted a go!

How to get to Jardin des Tuileries Playground 

The easiest way is to walk from the Louvre.

Cross the road in front of the Louvre (standing with your back towards the Louvre pyramid) and walk towards the Jardin des Tuileries gardens.

Walk through the first garden until you come to the Jardin des Tuileries gates, as pictured above, with golden tips on the fenceline. 

When you reach the gates, you are at the Entry point, as see in yellow at the bottom of the map above. 

Walk straight, past the pond, for another two blocks.

The Jardin des Tuileries playground is HIDDEN in amongst trees and equipment on the right hand side.

You have to look hard to spot it!

Toadstool Rating: Aire de jeux Playground in Paris

This is one of the best playgrounds in Paris CBD, and worth a stop in between art galleries, museums, shopping, eating and walking adventures.

This is one of the best parks in Paris too, and while there’s lots of tourists milling about, there’s also plenty of locals to observe.
